Then & Now

Sound Designed. December 2015.

Then & Now is a sound piece inspired by Octavia Butler's novel, Kindred. Throughout the novel, the main character, Edana, time travels back to the Antebellum South where she directly encounters the horrors of slavery. Time travel is never explained in the book. It is used as a narrative device. I wanted to sound design the experience of time travel and explore the ramifications of slavery.
